allow me to introduce myself

Hello, welcome! I thought I’d write another introduction post since it’s been awhile. A lot has changed, a lot has stayed the same.

Call me Josie. I’m currently living in Pristina, Kosovo with my husband, Tim. Most people don’t know where that is, so here’s a brief overlook of the country and a picture.

I’m teaching middle school science at the American School of Kosova. The school hosts us in a two-bedroom flat right in Kosovo’s capital city.

This isn’t my first adventure, though! My first significant travel experience was when I was 17. I took my first plane ride half-way around the world (all by myself!) to stay with my heart-sister in Germany for a month. That gave me the urge to see more. Then, I studied abroad in Arizona/Mexico, Tanzania, and Guatemala with some great groups of people. At the beginning of 2020, I finished half of my student teaching in New Zealand before the world pandemic spread rampantly.

In this blog I plan to write not strictly about traveling, but also my passions, thoughts, and musings, if you will.

I feel driven by passions of yoga, tea, books, sustainability, and a better world. Along with that, my husby (a word coined by me; short for husband, pronounced hus-bee) Tim, is my everything. He currently teaches fourth grade with me at ASK. Before moving to Kosovo together, we met, lived together, and got married in Duluth, Minnesota.

I’m from Midwestern Wisconsin. An only child raised by working and caring parents, a cheese maker (yes, very Wisconsin) and a school bus driver. My grandmother has my heart.

Thanks for reading this far! Let’s keep in touch. There is a nifty subscribe button at the bottom of the home page to get new postings (& nothing else) sent to your inbox.

Along with that, feel free to email with questions, comments, or your own musings at josephinesteller@gmail.com

I'm currently student teaching in Taupo, a city in the north island of New Zealand for the next 5 months. I'm staying with a host mother in a house right on Lake Taupo. This isn't my first adventure, though! My first significant travel experience was when I was 17. I took my first plane ride half-way around the world (all by myself!) to stay with my heart-sister in Germany for a month. That gave me the urge to see more. Then, I studied abroad in Arizona/Mexico, Tanzania, and Guatemala with some great groups of people. Being a New Zealand is a completely unique experience from my other adventures abroad, which led me to blog here. In this blog I plan to write not strictly about traveling, but also my passions, thoughts, and musings, if you will. I feel driven by passions of yoga, tea, books, sustainability, and a better world. Along with that, my fiance, Tim, is my everything. Before New Zealand we lived together in a beautiful, little studio apartment in Duluth, Minnesota. I'm from Wisconsin. An only child raised by working and caring parents, a cheese maker (yes, very Wisconsin) and a school bus driver. My grandmother has my heart.
